RE: Idaho Elk Hunt Gear Questions....????
the most improtant gear...good legs. You'll be hunting some steep country!!!
Go with a lightweight bag and a simple sleeping pad...something compact like a therm-a-rest that you can roll up and hang on your pack.
Speaking of packs...get the best you can afford...Badlands or something of the sort will be good.
get game bags, a good (sharp) knife, filter water bottle, scent free baby wipes...
Just a few ideas for you!!
